Forenza Viola Strings are constructed from a steel core that is durable and not affected by changes in humidity and temperature, unlike gut core strings. Perfect for student and intermediate players, these strings are a great budget option for all standards of viola player, producing a warm sound, consistent tone, and providing a good bow response. The tuning peg end of each string is wound with a coloured cotton thread to make the insert process easier, and at the opposite end, a solidly fixed ball-end to attach within the tailpiece. Superb strings at an unbelievable price!
